Lucky Dube – Victims

 

Didn’t know she was crying

Until now as she turns
To look at me
She said boy o’ boy
You bring tears to my eyes

I said what, she said
Boy o’ boy you bring tears to my eyes

Bob Marley said
How long shall they kill our Prophets
While we stand aside and look
But little did he know that
Eventually the enemy will stand aside and look
While we slash and kill our own brothers
Knowing that already
They are the victims of the situation
Still licking wounds from brutality

Still licking wounds
From humiliation
She said these words and the wrinkles on her face became perfect trails for the
tears and she said

We are the victims everytime
We’ve got double trouble everytime

We are the victims everytime
We’ve got double trouble everytime

We are the victims everytime
We’ve got double trouble everytime

She took me outside in the church yard
Showed me graves on the ground and she said

There lies a man who fought for equality
There lies a boy who died in the struggle

Can all these heroes
Die in vain
While we slash and kill our own brothers
Knowing that already
They are the victims of the situation
Still licking wounds from brutality
Still licking wounds from humiliation

We are the victims everytime
We’ve got double trouble everytime

We are the victims everytime
We’ve got double trouble everytime

We are the victims everytime
We’ve got double trouble everytime
